Sikorsky Workers to Vote on Contract

Members of the Teamsters union who work for helicopter giant Sikorsky will gather on Sunday, Feb. 15 to vote on a new labor contract. Union members said they want a three-year agreement, but United Technologies, Sikorsky’s parent company, is proposing a five-year package. Money will also be a big factor in the new contract. Both sides are wary of a repeat of the strike in 2006 when production was halted for six weeks over contract problems. For related news
